This is session 1 of 4 in the FPS DCAA Audits Webinar Series.

A Forward Pricing Rate Proposal (FPRP) is one of the main outputs of a contractor’s annual budgeting and planning cycle, and thus receives a lot of audit attention.  Even though this attention occurs regularly during the year in connection with contract pricing proposals, DCAA re-scrutinizes FPRPs as part of an overall estimating system audit.  Join our experts for this one-hour webinar - part of a larger webinar series focused on government audits – to discuss common forward pricing rate audit challenges and findings, strategic risk mitigation options, and tactical tips and tricks to ensure a successful audit.

Learning Objectives:
  • The purpose and intent of forward pricing rates, and the focus of government audits
  • Who performs these audits, with a primary focus on the Defense Contract Audit Agency
  • Recent areas of attention and common challenges contractors face during FPRP and proposal audits
  • How estimating business system audits intersect with and are impacted from FPRP audits
  • Strategies for managing and addressing audit requests
  • Key estimating process risk areas and how to mitigate them

This webinar is sponsored by
